I believe you are correct that one of the reasons the North American manufacturers lose so many customers is because they are slow to fix recurring problems in their vehicles. When Chrysler first brought out their 4 speed automatic transmission in the early 1990's, problems persisted over many model years. I had a 1995 Corsica with a 4 cylinder engine that had a head gasket problem that stretched over 5 or 6 model years. I believe these companies are so poorly run that it takes them such an extended period of time to resolve engineeering and design problems with their vehicles. Given the state of the economy, the price of gasoline, and the decline in auto sales, I will not be surprised if one of the Big Three (Ford, GM, or Chrysler) closes shop for good within the next 5 years.

'97 T&C. Service Engine light intermittent. Door locks and lighting acts up. Radio will shut off. Engine does not stop, but drive train stalls and lurches and speedometer turns of and on. So, similar problems. Did you find a solution? Thanks.

To all who have cranking (battery okay) but no ignition, my problem was the wiring to the fuel pump (located in the gas tank). The wiring can get damaged (intermittent problem) or completed disconnected (some sort of rodent had actually chewed through mine). Exhaust efforts to get the wiring repaired before agreeing to the much greater expense of replacing, which involves the whole gas tank. Hope this is helpful.

Hi, I have a Chrysler T&C as well. I bought it used from a dealer and on the way home it started stalling. It was in there shop for about 2 wks before they finally sent it to a Chrysler Dealer. They said it was the key. The cut a new one and magically the problem was gone. 2.5 mo later after we had moved out of state the car started deiseling and now black smoke is spewing out the tail pipe. It is in the shop as we speak and they said it is either the main computer or the wiring. After reading your posting I don't know what to do. I can't afford to fix the darn thing but I can't sell it either. The dealer should be responcible for fixing it because the problems started within minutes after I drove it off the lot. Whether they will or not is another story. Thanks for your posting it was helpful.

I am sorry about your problem. I haven't found a resolution for mine yet...as a matter of fact mine took me 35 minutes in the parking lot after church to get it started today. It almost stranded me today. I believe that the problem lies somewhere in the electronics, more specifically the alarm system relays and the sort. The wiring harness could also be defective. I am just afraid a new one would only result in the same problems being that they haven't addressed it on a recall level.
Best of Luck

I have a 2003 Chrysler T&C that will stall at stops and will run rough when driving at hiway speeds and the tach will jump 200 to 500 rpms at times it has been to the dealer twice for this problem and all they do is charge me for a rental and never come up with a fix because there is no code.
